Cameron Carr Makes His Regular-Season Debut
Lakers rookie Cameron Carr made his regular-season debut late in the game. The Knicks selected Carr No. 24 overall in the 2026 draft, and he was later acquired by the Lakers in a trade. Carr had missed time early in the season with an oblique injury. According to the ESPN recap, he entered in the closing minutes of a close contest. The NBA box score was not available to confirm his minutes. Oblique injuries can linger, so the team’s handling of his workload will be worth watching in the weeks ahead.

Doncic’s line dominated the box score, but Carr’s brief appearance adds a second storyline to the night. A first-round pick returning from injury received brief NBA minutes in a six-point game. That kind of moment can build confidence for a young player. Doncic’s season and game coverage is available in our Luka Doncic coverage.
